Our outstanding Easter dinner featured Braised Pork Shoulder. We purchased an all natural-fed pork roast from Seven Bridges Farm yesterday during our weekly trip to the Rochester Public Market. Check out this excellent local farm at www.sevenbridgesfarm.com/. The pork was fabulous - incredibly tender and full of delicious flavor! After adding a dry-rub, we braised it with onion, garlic, celery, carrot and sliced fennel bulb in red wine (we used Shiraz) and chicken stock. We served it with a lemon-zesty roasted rhubarb, peas sauteed with garlic, and roasted new potatoes with rosemary. And last but certainly not least, we enjoyed a glass of our absolute favorite Apothic Red, a wonderful and unique blend of Zinfandel, Syrah, and Merlot produced by Apothic Wines (Modesto, CA). Happy Easter!
